Find one word that describes a character. Yvaine - Resourceful. She found ways to feed her and her baby. She even found them a place to stay. She taught others her trade. She jumped out of her comfort zone when she needed to.

Compare two of the characters in this book. Charlie - is an all-American track star. He is clean cut and a 15 year old high school boy. Yvaine - is around 16 years old. Has a little baby named Billy. They are dirty and ratty. She steals to survive.

What part would you change in the story, and why? Wouldn't really change anything, but would have liked a chapter about how Yvaine acclimated in her new environment.

Tell what you think is the climax of the book and why. For me the climax was when Charlie and Yvaine realized, they didn't have to steal any more.
